El Quindío Paragliding Activity

At your chosen time, we'll see you in Plaza de Buenavista, in the municipality of the same name in the Quindío Department. We'll hop aboard our vehicle and head to the airstrip, located at 6,200 feet (1,890 metres) above sea level.

Upon arrival, the pilots will explain the specific safety protocols for take-off and landing. You will then be fitted with harnesses and helmets before taking to the skies.

You will spend 10 to 15 minutes flying over the Coffee Cultural Landscape, a region with coffee plantations, guaduas, and trumpet trees. During the 4-mile (7-kilometre) route, the pilot will describe the municipalities you pass through and how local people adapt to the landscape.

If weather conditions permit, you may follow the pilot's instructions and manoeuvre the paraglider yourself.
